Tommie Harris' wife dies
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Hedo Turkoglu scored 24 points Friday night and Rashard Lewis hit five 3-pointers, leading the Orlando Magic to a 92-80 victory over Charlotte.
Lewis finished with 18 points and Dwight Howard contributed 13 points and 16 rebounds, helping the Magic to their second win in three games. Orlando bounced back from a 32-point loss at New Orleans Wednesday.
Rafer Alston played 29 minutes in his Orlando debut and handed out eight assists to go with three points. Alston was acquired from Houston prior to the trade deadline Thursday to help bolster the point guard position -- which took a major hit when Jameer Nelson was lost for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.
Charlotte was led by Raymond Felton with 16 points and Boris Diaw with 15. The Bobcats had won three of their previous four games.
